The concert will raise money for victims of F5 tornados that struck Moore, Oklahoma City, and surrounding areas earlier this year, and proceeds will be dispersed to central Oklahoma community organizations and charities.

In release, Kings bassist Jared Followill said the band "couldn't be more proud to lend a hand to our home state."

Ronnie Dunntold Oklahoma newspaper Tulsa World that he was working with fellow Oklahoma natives Brooks and Toby Keith to assemble a summertime benefit concert for Oklahoma tornado victims. Dunn’s publicist confirmed a show was definitely happening, and said an official announcement would be made after the details were finalized.

In addition, Brooks is heading back to Las Vegas for a series of concerts at Wynn Las Vegas July 4-6. The performances will be filmed for a television special highlighting his run of shows at Wynn’s Encore Theater and will be available on DVD and Blu-Ray. Tickets for those shows go on sale at noon Monday through Ticketmaster, 1-800-745-3000.

Shelton told reporters about the fundraising effort after Tuesday night's episode of "The Voice." Shelton, an Oklahoma native, paid tribute to the thousands affected by Sunday and Monday's tornadoes by performing an acoustic version of the hit "Over You" with wife Miranda Lambert.

He said the benefit would be held soon in nearby Oklahoma City.

At least 24 people, including nine schoolchildren, were killed Monday afternoon in Moore, Okla., when an F-5 tornado with 200 mph winds touched down for 40 minutes and destroyed entire neighborhoods.

Toby Keith, a native of Moore, also is planning a benefit. His sister's house was hit by the tornado.

Celebrities — Oklahoma natives and otherwise — have been expressing their thoughts and offering prayers for the victims of the state’s storms on Monday.

"Pray. That's all we [c]an do. Pray for peace for Oklahoma." —Miranda Lambert tweeted. Lambert and husband Blake Shelton live in Tishomingo, OK., which is about 100 miles away from Moore, OK.

"I'm thinking about and praying for my beautiful home state and the people in it tonight. Growing up in tornado alley, you always know what could happen. It doesn’t change how devastating it is when something does happen. #pray." — Carrie Underwood tweeted. Underwood grew up in Checotah, OK, about 120 miles from Moore, OK.

"Stopped to spend the night in Shawnee, Okla. Just woke up to another tornado hitting Moore. Right in front of it!" In a follow-up tweet, he wrote, "We got out just before it hit. Those poor people. We will help when and where we can." — Ronnie Dunn tweeted Monday

"This storm has devastated the community that I grew up in. I rode my bike through those neighborhoods. I have family and friends in Moore. My heart and prayers go to those that have lost so much. But Moore is strong and we will persevere. God be with you all." — Toby Keith said in a statement

"My thoughts & prayers are with my home state of Oklahoma. May God’s love & grace be with all affected by these horrible storms." — Rascal Flatts’ Joe Don Rooney tweeted

"Just landed in LA and hearing about all the tornados in Oklahoma right now... Get somewhere safe!" — Blake Shelton tweeted after hearing about the gravity of the serious storms.

"It’s so common every year around this time and it’s not out of the norm, but the weird thing is the last 48 hours has been kind of a riot for my mom. She’s literally been in a closet off and on for the past 48 hours and it’s just been nuts and they are still on a watch until 11 p.m. tonight. You are used to it being from there but at the same time when you get that many times from your mom in two days, it’s a little unnerving. When she called me today she was rattled because the tornado was just a few exits away.

...You just have to batten down the hatches when that stuff happens. We’re all used to it, but you never think it’s going to happen to your family. But we’ve all learned in the last few years it can very easily be your family because it goes through there so common, right through Moore and Norman. It’s a scary deal." — country singer Bryan White, an Oklahoma native, told The Tennessean.

Many celebrities in the Nashville area who did not grow up in Oklahoma, also offered their support in the last 24 hours via Twitter.

"God Bless Oklahoma victums — prayers are with all the families — will wake up tomorrow and start working on the best way to help." — Kix Brooks

"I grew up in tornado alley. Amarillo,TX. There's nothing more terrifying than that "sound" bearing down on you. #prayforoklahoma ... 2morrow I'll give a FREE download. "DREAMS IN THE DUST" is about life in tornado alley. Every D-load earns $1 to #redcross #prayforoklahoma" — John Rich tweeted Monday night
